Do i need Timeout for simple HTML zone to refresh?

I've been searching here for the answer, but it seems that everyone is using BS for much more complicated things than we are.

I have an HTML5 zone that i want BS to refresh when the page is edited and saved.

Seems i have to republish to make then new changes appear.  I added Timeout Event of 600 seconds, but nothing seems to ever change.

How do i get the newly saved page to appear without having to repbublish?

    Basically, create a timer that executes a Zone Message event that refreshes the zone which contains what you are wanting to reload.

    Assuming you have an HTML5 state inside a playlist, you could convert the zone to interactive, and attach a timer event set for 600 seconds.

    The timer event would then transition back to the HTML5 state, and force a reload.

    Please let us know how that went.

    From OP:  "I added Timeout Event of 600 seconds, but nothing seems to ever change."

    Is this what you meant by timer event?

    JJ: i'll have to check out your post on Monday.  Thank you.

    What is your Timeout Event doing?  Is it like this?  Note how I have the "Specify next state" returning back to the same HTML5.

    Thanks guys.  I did set mine up like that but wasn't seeing the refresh.  We rebooted the device and everything is working now.  Refreshing every 5 min.

    Thanks again for the assist!
